Heuristic Evaluation

A heuristic evaluation is a quick, inexpensive way to collect information about usability problems with your product or application. No access to end users is required, and the evaluation can be conducted off-site. Our experts independently measure a system's compliance with a set of usability standards or best practices. This sort of evaluation will uncover approximately 80-85% of the existing usability problems within an application or product; the remaining issues typically are related to user task context. It is an extremely useful standalone tool, but it can be used to set the tone for a more robust, targeted usability program.
